Serene Mountain Retreat w/ Patio & Mtn Views!

Everything was as pictured! A great home base for seeing Mesa Verde. Felt secluded but only 10 minutes from town. We really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. Owners share the house but it’s separated by a locked door, didn’t hear any noise. Private porch off the front, so it doesn’t feel as much as a shared space. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful quit clean comfortable will be back.

I love this house. It's spacious, comfortable, beautiful, has many amenities provided (I needed a straw, and found one in a drawer!), and made me feel at home. The outside is spectacular with outdoor seating, a grill, gorgeous views, and a large hot tub. There's even a little creek running through with ducks and deer all over. I was out at night and could hear all sorts of fun & splashing just a few meters away from me. It made me feel secure and happy. The location is about 10 minutes outside of Cortez and perfect. My main goals for my trip were to relax and view the night sky. I miss seeing all the stars and Milky Way, and while I can go places in Utah to view them, there's something extra peaceful about the Mesa Verde area that draws me back to Cortez. Thank you, Carlsons, for sharing your property and making it so welcoming.

We stayed for 2 nights in August and had the most wonderful time. This home has it ALL - a fully stocked kitchen, A/C, comfy beds, and hangout spaces inside - but it's the outside spaces that really steal the show. From a covered porch to outside dining and even a few cozy chairs by the entrance, we rotated from place to place to enjoy it all. The yard boasts so many beautiful flowers and is well-maintained. It feels like such a home away from home! And the hot tub is a MUST! Clean with powerful jets - the soak at the end of the day with the pretty twinkle lights around us was the perfect cherry on top!
